The University of Arkansas holds many memories for Jonathon Modica. As an institution with a “great athletic reputation and culture,” he recalls the times he spent on the basketball court in Bud Walton Arena playing for the Arkansas Razorbacks and his involvement in Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc. as two of his most memorable experiences as an undergraduate student.

I joined, immediately upon graduating in 1970, so that I could stay connected with the journalism department, with my classmates and with my school. That membership, in turn, has served me splendidly over the last 38 years. I couldn’t imagine that any experience would admirably substitute for my being a part of the Arkansas Alumni Association.
